Luis J. Gomez pitch
Hey Luis,
I’m an advocate for NJ comics and started a movement to try and give local comics a platform to showcase their sets without having to go into NYC. Feel free to checkout all the events we’ve slowly been able to set up so far. We were recently invited back to the Liberty Science Center(LSC)! The LSC has a weekly 21+ event called “LSC - After Dark”. These are themed events where all the science exhibits are open and they offer food, full bar, DJ/Dance Floor, and laser shows in the largest planetarium in the western hemisphere. Current dates they’re looking to have us are November 7th or 21st at ~8:30PM.
Luis, I’m a huge fan. Besides selfishly wanting to work with you - you’re the right guy to draw in a big crowd that can make the night a success. You’ll be directly supporting our small comedy scene - we’re all very excited at the possibility of you swinging by. If the event is successful, they’ll keep inviting us back and we may finally have a long term home for comedy in North Jersey - which is an untapped market. We’re working towards getting them to start splitting ticket revenue which could be very lucrative for you if you decide to come back(you’re always welcome back).
I’m working hard to get sponsors to help cover the cost of the headliner spot - right now $500 and a car service is the most I can commit. I know this is way below what you deserve, but I hope you can see the long term opportunity. A 300 seat theater is the smallest room this venue has to offer - we can go even bigger in the future and we’re just 18 minutes away from the cellar! This can also be a possible venue for skankfest. They have so much space, parking and views of NYC. Plus you can market it like they do the Giants and make it a bit(Everything seems like it’s NY, but it’s really NJ). The planetarium is also kind of like the east coast’s version of the sphere in Vegas.
You mentioned on the live that you’re working on an hour. If you want to try out your hour in front of 300 people, I’m happy to make that happen and schedule the show around it.
Other perks I can offer:
Can go as long as you want - would ideally have you do at least 15 minutes.
Car service pickup/dropoff from Bergen County
Dedicated back entrance with onsite security
Huge green room with catered spread - I can also get you a room to yourself if needed
Free tickets to the general event for friends/family. Adrienne Iapalucci came out to the last show with friends and had a great time.
If we’re too far apart on terms - let me know what I can change to try and make this happen. If at the end of the day we can’t work something out, I understand this is business. If I somehow still manage to get this partnership going with the Liberty Science Center - I’ll reach back out again when I can properly compensate you!
In any case, I just want to thank you for giving me the time of day and considering this offer.
